Whiskers
Tina Sparkle(VWF076) was born on September 27, 2004 in the Whiskers Mob. Her mother was Mozart and her father was Pantouffle, a roving male from Vivian. Her litter-mates were Spud(VWM078), VWF077 and VWM079. They were born soon after Mitch, Hawkeye, Logan and Cruise, pups that belonged to the dominant female Flower. Tina Sparkle's aunt Baddiel gave birth to Jogu, Maladoy and VWM082 a month later. Having so many litters of different ages living in the same burrow resulted in major parasite infestations. Due to the outbreak a subordinate male named Yossarian initiated a burrow move. Tina Sparkle's sister VWF079 was dropped and left behind duing the move. A month later VWF077 disappeared. Tina Sparkle's cousin VWM082 was also lost that month. But Tina Sparkle and her brother Spud survived to adulthood. Tina Sparkle became a regular babysitter for the group. In 2006 she, Mitch and Jogu babysat a new litter and protected them from the Young Ones. On February 24, 2006 her mother Mozart gave birth to a new litter of four pups, Ju Drop, Karim, Wollow and Miss Lilly The Pink. Mozart was later evicted from the Whiskers and formed the Starsky. In December 2006 Tina Sparkle and Suggs, a meerkat from the litter she protected, left the Whiskers and joined a semi-habutated group.
Hoax
The semi-wild group was called the Hoax. There were four wild meerkats in this group; three males and one female. Tina Sparkle did not become the dominant female in the group. However, she did wear the group's radio collar. The position of dominant female was taken by Mau Mau, a wild female of unknown origins. Carravagio took the dominant male position. But the group could not produce a litter and the males, including Suggs, left the group. Mau Mau eventually disappeared in November 2007. Tina Sparkle was the last member of the Hoax group and was heavily pregnant. She was sadly Last Seen on December 19, 2007.
